Description
The National Instruments PXIe-2544 PXI RF Multiplexer Switch Module, with Part Number 780587-44, is designed as an 8×1 Terminated Multiplexer that operates at a minimum input frequency of 10 Megahertz and can handle a maximum RF frequency up to 6.6 GHz. Its characteristic impedance is specified at 50 ohms (Z0), which ensures compatibility with standard RF systems.
Equipped with AC Coupling, the module can safely manage a DC input voltage of up to ±8 volts. The module utilizes FET switches for signal routing and features SMA connectors for reliable and easy interconnections. It is capable of withstanding a maximum safe continuous RF power of +30 dBm when the chassis is powered on, and +20 dBm when the chassis is powered off.
The insertion loss thermal coefficient (α) of the PXIe-2544 is 3,402 ppm/°C, indicating its performance stability over varying temperatures. It boasts a maximum switch operating time of just 122 microseconds, allowing for quick signal switching in time-sensitive applications. Weighing 538 grams and measuring 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 inches in dimensions, the module is both compact and lightweight for easy integration into PXI systems.
